http-get-nearby type dataSources

The 'http-get-nearby' type for dataSources retrieval is for querying spatial data that IS NOT stored in an ESRI product like ArcGIS Online or ArcGIS Server. It works with Carto.

There is a limited set of options that you can put in:

option	definition	required?
table	the exact Carto table name	Yes
dateMinNum	the number of days, months, or years to look back	No
dateMinType	'day' or 'month or 'year'	Yes if dateMinNum is used, otherwise No
dateField	the exact date field name	Yes if dateMinNum is used, otherwise No
successFn		No
distances	the distance from the geocoded address to search	No

It finds the features of the dataset you are querying which are within a distance of the current geocoded address. If you do not put in a "distances" option, it uses 250 feet.

NonBundled Project Example:

dataSources: {
  crimeIncidents: {
    type: 'http-get-nearby',
    url: 'https://phl.carto.com/api/v2/sql',
    options: {
      table: 'incidents_part1_part2',
      distances: 500,
      dateMinNum: 1,
      dateMinType: 'year',
      dateField: 'dispatch_date',
    }
  }
}

Bunded Project Example:

export default {
  id: 'crimeIncidents',
  type: 'http-get-nearby',
  url: 'https://phl.carto.com/api/v2/sql',
  options: {
    table: 'incidents_part1_part2',
    dateMinNum: 1,
    dateMinType: 'year',
    dateField: 'dispatch_date',
  }
}
